Exactly my thoughts! Sorry about the derailment there, Dameon.

Re: I suppose an introduction is in order

Dear Lord! Someone is always trying to ruin my Christmas, but I'm not going to let it happen this year. Might I suggest our friend Dumian tell his parents to consult with Brother Mayfield about keeping their kids Baptist?

PS You can thank me for the very appropriate avatar!

Re: I suppose an introduction is in order

So you see, you need to go ahead and hate your parents, and find Jesus on your own.

Well, his Dad seems ok; his mother's some kind of slut though.

Worshipping the moon and fornicating with wolves? Friend, why do you blame your Dad for shooting the wolf? Your lucky he didn't send your mom to hell along with it. That's absolutely disgusting.

I agree with Pastor Zeke that you've been led here for a reason and that reason is Jesus. Take your time and get your head on straight; and after that ask Jesus to forgive you and call your Dad and tell him you love him. You owe him that.

Leave it to Mrs. Van Horny to turn this into a discussion of rails. No doubt complete with trains and tunnels. Heathen! Get thee behind me, Satan! (And put that spatula down! No, wait, pick it up and get into the kitchen! Or . . . something.)

Is your father a preacher, Dameon? Or is he just a really big fan of God's Word?

Re: I suppose an introduction is in order

My mother is not a slut! I owe my father nothing and I wouldn't dream of ruining your christmas ma'am.

Oh but by the by my name is spelt Dameon.

Re: I suppose an introduction is in order

A big fan, his Father was a preacher. He was going to be but he married my mother and found out she wasn't a baptist and then felt he wasn't worthy of being that closely connected to God until he had repented for being with a 'sinner' or something.

Well, he's half right!

I'll let you decide which half.

Re: I suppose an introduction is in order

Welcome Friend. Jesus has called you here for a reason. You may think that it is important to tell us about your vague unfocused thoughts about God. What is more important is that you open your heart to the love of Jesus on your own. Forget your parents, for as Jesus tells us...

"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother...he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26

So you see, you need to go ahead and hate your parents, and find Jesus on your own. Study the Holy Bible, read this forum thoroughly, and start a robust Tithing program today! That Paypal button at the bottom of this page will help you get it all started. Praise Jesus!

But in the ten commandments God said you should obey your father and mother so that your days may be long upon the earth that he gave us. Did God and Jesus get their meeting notes mixed up?

They did not get any "notes" mixed up, infact Jesus and God is the same! Don't you know that?
So yes, you must obey them (your parents), but you must hate them while you do it.

Simple enough to understand for you, woman?


And Daemon.. (what manner of name is that? It's demonic!)
Do not wear out your welcoming.
If you want to gain heaven, you must start hating that slut you call a mother.

Do you love your employer? I know many who loathe their supervisors. When the boss says "Jump!", they say, "How high?" They hate the boss, but obey and honor him so as to keep the paychecks coming.

Does the UNsaved political prisoner love his prison guard? Of course not, but I bet he's respectful and does what he's told, if he wants supper and not to be urinated on or forced to wipe his behind with a Koran that day.

In the same way, you can hate your mother and father, as Jesus commanded, while also obeying them, as God commanded, assuming you want warm feet and croissants in Heaven instead of going to Hell to be fuel for the bakery ovens (according to Rachael's warped creed).

No. I am glad you asked this young lady, but wonder if you might not have phrased the inquiry a little more formerly. I'm afraid that the way you have couched smacks of a casualness and informality -- at the very least -- that one is ill-advised to use when speaking of our Lord and of God the Father, who are also one. In fact, some may even take your message, as it as put, as flippant or as mockery! I hope that you are not, beknown to you or not, just yet another instrument of Satan.

No. There is no contradiction. The Ten Commandments are a manual for how God's Anointed -- True Christians™ -- should treat other True Christians™.

True Christian™ children must honour their True Christian™ parents. But if a True Christian™ child's parents are unsaved trash then he must hate them and leave them.

Is this plain?

And there are times when it is ordained
to destroy one or both parents, yes?

And if the child does heed God's call,
in exampling this case of Dameon's conflict
(a classically common example),
must he not slay the one he loves?
and honour and elevate the parent he hates?

I'm a student too, being so new to Baptist Life.
The Congregationalists never taught me a darned thing.
Now it is too late. Both of my parents are dead,
and I had no part in their separate demises at all.

Cheerful warm welcomes to our new friend Dameon,


Peter

Your problem here is that you've never read the Bible. God doesn't say to obey our parents, he says to honour them.
Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
What could possibly bring someone more honour than to produce a fine young True Christian™ offspring, who hates them as Jesus commands?

I would like to apologize for my slurs and hostility against you yesterday. I hope we can start over; if not, I'll trouble you no more.
